....with the current administration... Ignore it!
Hi, I’m from the government and I’m here to hep you. (sic)
They are not your friend. Don’t give them any reason to know you any better.
The short answer is NO!
I surely would not allow the “surveyors” into my home.
I’ve never heard of such. Why would they show up at your door? Don’t give them any information. If they are legit, they should send you something in the mail.
They should have a copy of said letter to show you. I would advise against it. Sounds fishy.
Insurance scam of some kind...want to sell something to “ enhance your coverage”!
You would have to believe the GOVT. cared enough to go to every senior!
Get him a new red white and blue “FLAG”.

Haven’t heard of Medicare folks going door to door. I would not do it and would also do some research to find out if it’s a valid deal.

Not saying if you should or you shouldn’t, just providing you with facts.
A NORC rep showed up at the very elderly lady that lives down the street door. The rep was very persistent. The lady called Mrs. Mad and we went down there and made it clear that the rep wasn’t welcome and was now trespassing. He left but was clearly not happy.
I wouldn’t do the survey myself. .gov knows everything they need to know about everyone already. This survey is just a waste of taxpayer money.
“Should he participate?”
There are three categories of answers you should study and carefully choose from:
1. No.
2. Never.
3. Not at all.
I learned years ago never to answer any survey, none of them. There is no way of knowing just how your information is to be used, especially if your name and other personal info is attached to it.
Now add to that, that this is the fed gov, you can safely assume your answers may be some how or another used against you.
The US Census is a survey. I answer only the questions required by the Constitution. Screw the rest.
Definitely NO!
People who believe that the govt is out to get them have given away their power. When good people do nothing, evil moves in and thrives.
Fraud. Trying to get your SS# and then steal benefits. SHUT THE DOOR. Report it to your state AG, the FBI, and CMS.
SS does NOT come to your door or call you. No more than the FBI or NSA does. It’s like all those official looking ads, a way to get money out of you.
When the left politicized the US Census I stopped cooperating. IDC if it is the law - *I* don’t think that it’s any of their business (especially when they use my answers against me).
Just say no.
I would not.
What has happened to Free Republic?
We are getting questions about whether they should “allow” their adult child to get married. Now we are presented with questions about if you should answer a survey?
If you cannot figure the answers to these questions, you are bordering on mental defect.
People, think for yourselves. This site used to be filled with people of common sense and intelligence. Now, the sheep are gathering.
Anytime someone with a gooberment agency shows up at my doorstep, I respectfully request they get a warrant for any type of additional information.
Noooooo!
